“You guys have the heart.”The general looked at the beggars and landlubbers in front of him who took the initiative to ask for help with a look of approval, and nodded without hesitation, “Since you guys know how to repay your kindness. The return of the prodigal son, how can this general be an evil person and break your way to repay the favour and the prodigal son’s return, your invitation to fight is granted by this general.”
In the vicinity of the officials and people also can not help but nod repeatedly. Beggars still know how to repay favours.
The ruffian’s prodigal son turned back and took the initiative to ask for help to fight the Japanese, this is really a good story. This world is ultimately a brilliant road, this world is ultimately my Ming’s world!There is still hope!
There is still hope!
The positive deed of beggars and landlubbers asking for help to defend the city spread instantly.
Zhang Jing and other officials on the city walls also quickly learnt of the news.
“The beggar knows how to repay his kindness, the landlubber returns to his prodigal son, good, good, good, quickly spread this news to boost morale.”
When Zhang Jing heard this, he couldn’t help but nod his head, the gloom between his eyebrows was washed away quite a bit by this good news, the Japanese bandits were flaunting their weapons under the city, the morale on the city was greatly impacted, this news came at the right time, it was the right opportunity to boost the morale, so he made a prompt decision and ordered people to spread this news around the city to boost the morale. ”
Soon, under the impetus of Zhang Jing and the others, this news was passed out to the entire city wall, to the ears of every soldier and citizen defending the city, all of them were greatly encouraged, and the chorus of voices on the city wall was finally cut down by a few points.
“Not bad, not bad, beggars and ruffians have taken the initiative to come to defend the city, the heart of the army is available ah, I am now a lot more solid in my heart.”On the Ander Gate, Duke Wei showed a smile on his face and said to Marquis Lin Huai on the side.
Marquis Linhuai also nodded, the worry on his face went a few points, more interest, “This this knowingly beggar and the prodigal son’s return to the ground on that section of the wall, a certain to go and see them, if they have performed well this time, rewarding them with a birth after the war will also be a good story.”
“Go, go with me to take a look.”Duke Wei was also interested.
Thus, the Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai both joined hands and recruited a general in charge of conscripting the people, asking him which section of the city wall the beggars and landlubbers were in.
“Back to the Duke and Marquis ……”The general arched his hand and was about to reply when he heard a loud bang under the city, the city wall shook slightly, the words from the general’s mouth were interrupted by this shock.
The Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai also changed their faces.
“Report, the Japanese pirates underneath the city loaded gunpowder into wine altars and threw it at the city gates, fortunately General Yu was a great shot, the Japanese pirates couldn’t get close to the gates, so they had to make a move on the city walls. The explosion just now was the gunpowder thrown by the Japanese.”A soldier with a fearful face reported, and at the same time worriedly reminded “I saw that there are still several wine jars in the hands of the Japanese invaders, and it is estimated that they are all filled with this kind of gunpowder.”
“What?There are still several gunpowder jars in the hands of the Japanese?If we let them get close to the city gates and blast them, the gates will be in danger!”
The people on the city walls were once again on edge, as if the city gates would be blown up by the Japanese at any moment.
The news could not be blocked, everyone was on the city wall and could see the wine jars placed on the carriages behind the Japanese invaders.
These jars of wine made a thick layer of haze over the city, and the crisis of the city breaking down surrounded everyone’s mind.
The pressure was immense!
Terrified!
Morale dropped to freezing point once again.
“Which section of the city wall are the beggars and landlubbers who volunteered to fight in, let’s go and take a look at them and give them an early commendation to encourage morale.”Duke Wei took his eyes back from the Japanese outside the city, looked at the general with a heavy face and asked once again, wanting to encourage the morale once again by commending the beggars and landlubbers.
“Back to the Duke and Marquis, they are not on the city walls yet.”The general returned.
“Eh? Didn’t they take the initiative to ask for battle, why aren’t they on the city walls?”Marquis Linhuai asked suspiciously.
“I was about to report to Your Excellency that the beggars and the landlubbers have requested to fight, and they want to assist in the defence at the most dangerous place, which is at the city gate hole. They said that the Japanese invaders have been eyeing the Andemen gate and have tried to attack the gate many times, so they want to assist in the defence at the gate cave, and in case the Japanese invaders manage to break through the gate, they will defend the Andemen gate cave to the death, and they will not let the Japanese invaders set foot in Yingtian even if they die, they will not allow the Japanese invaders to harm any of the people of Yingtian. I can’t make the decision, so I’d like to ask your lords to decide how to settle the beggars and landlubbers who have volunteered to fight.”
The general clasped his fists back to Duke Wei, Marquis Linhuai, and the nearby Zhang Jing and other officials, asking them to decide.
When Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai heard the words, both of their eyelids jumped and shook, thinking of Zhu Pingan’s instructions yesterday, they tacitly looked at each other with a look of shock and gravity in their eyes, as well as a hint of surprise that “it’s not a waste of time to get what you’re looking for without breaking the iron shoes”.
“Good! Wherever is the most dangerous, they should go there, this group of beggars and ruffians have the style of ancient righteousness!”
Zhang Jing and the surrounding officials listened to the general’s report and could not help but nod their heads, giving the beggars and ruffians another high look.
“Now that the Japanese are trying to break through the gate with their gunpowder and wine altars, the pressure on the city gate has increased greatly, it is the time to use people, since they have taken the initiative to request to assist in the defence of the city gate hole, what reason do we have not to grant them, after the war this is bound to be a good story ah.”
“Rather, my humble servant seconded the motion.”
“Seconded.”
The surrounding officials spoke up one after another.
“Good, then arrange for them to be placed in the city gate cave, issue them blades, and assist in the defence of the city gates.”Zhang Jing nodded.
“Here!”The general received the order and was about to turn around and go down to make the arrangements when he heard a “No!” from his ears.
“No!”Duke Wei and Marquis Lin Huai stopped in unison.
“Eh?”Zhang Jing frowned at Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai and asked suspiciously, “Lord Xu, Lord Li, why are you stopping it?”
“That’s right, this is a good story, it’s just the right thing to use to boost morale, why are the Duke of State and Marquis making a big deal out of it?!”
“Just now, the Japanese Kou Shidou used gunpowder to blow up the city gate, the city gate is exactly dangerous, they took the initiative to request to stay in the city gate hole to assist in defence, this is a good thing ah, there is no reason not to agree with them ah, why did the Duke of State and the Marquis stop it ah.”
“Beggars know the kindness, the landlubber prodigal son returns, they request to assist in the defence of the most dangerous city gate hole, this point of request are not agreed, the State Duke and Marquis is a little too unsatisfactory, right? Or do the Duke and Marquis have better arrangements for them?”
The surrounding officials opened their mouths one after another, accusing both Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai both inside and outside of their words, explicitly and implicitly.
“Not only can we not promise them, but we must also send heavy troops to keep them under strict guard and carefully screen them ……”
The Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai both spoke with a grave and serious face.
“What? Not only can’t we agree to that, but we also have to put them under guard? Is this what the Duke of State and Marquis said? People beggars know how to repay their kindness, and the landlubber’s prodigal son returns and takes the initiative to ask for battle, and you guys even want to send soldiers to put them under guard? Please forgive my humble servant for saying something very disrespectful, is this human language from you guys?”
“Bullshit!”
“What a bunch of nonsense!”
Before they could finish their words, the surrounding officials could not help but shake their heads in righteous indignation and interrupt them.
Zhang Jing frowned at Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai, but after seeing the grave and serious looks on their faces, he could not help but be stunned for a moment before frowning in contemplation.
Hu Zongxian, who was on the side, noticed the unusual behaviour of Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai, and if something moved in his heart, he also frowned and pondered.
